A Linear-Logic Semantics for Constraint Handling Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the attractive features of the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) programming language is its declarative semantics where rules are read as formulae in first-order predicate logic. However, the more CHR is used as a general-purpose programming language, the more the limitations of that kind of declarative semantics in modelling change become apparent. We propose an alternative declarative semantics based on (intuitionistic) linear logic, establishing strong theorems on both soundness and completeness of the new declarative semantics w.r.t. operational semantics.

Verification of Constraint Handling Rules using Linear Logic Phase Semantics
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a declarative concurrent programming language. Like the class of Concurrent Constraint (CC) languages, CHR features a declarative semantics based on Girard’s intuitionistic linear logic. The phase semantics of linear logic has been used in the past to prove safety properties for the class of CC languages. In this paper we show that we can adapt this result to ...
متن کاملA Linear-Logic Semantics for Constraint Handling Rules With Disjunction
We motivate and develop a linear logic declarative semantics for CHR∨, an extension of the CHR programming language that integrates concurrent committed choice with backtrack search and a predefined underlying constraint handler. We show that our semantics maps each of these aspects of the language to a distinct aspect of linear logic. We show how we can use this semantics to reason about deriv...
متن کاملToward Observational Equivalences for Linear Logic Concurrent Constraint Languages
Linear logic Concurrent Constraint programming (LCC) is an extension of concurrent constraint programming (CC) where the constraint system is based on Girard’s linear logic instead of the classical logic. In this paper we address the problem of program equivalence for this programming framework. For this purpose, we present a structural operational semantics for LCC based on a label transition ...

متن کاملTowards Agent Programming in CHR
We investigate an approach to the design and implementation of linear logic based agent systems via the linear logic semantics of Constraint Handling Rules (CHR). The intuition behind our approach is simple: Linear logic provides strong logical foundations to reason, verify and specify agent systems beyond the limitations of classical logics, while with CHR, one can implement and analyse agent ...
